I came here to meet you!       ( text | action | etc. )
... I want you to get in the way of my life.

No, you're certainly far from average - in all the ways one can be.
What it comes down to is ego death. When you get into someone's head, make space there, you can turn them inside out with only an invisible hand's worth of effort.
Those who cannot be rattled never will be. Narcissists like Cavasoz can be torn apart in time.

[ kaiser's not taking that first statement as a compliment, because he is fairly sure it isn't one. ]

sometimes i wonder how your reputation isnt worse than it actually is.
well, hes probably feeling rather full of himself in spite of how thoroughly mediocre he looks in serie a this season, the argentina national team has been killing it as of late
is this a build him up to watch him fall sort of angle?

[rationalizer]

It's only other players who find me distasteful. I'm very well liked otherwise.

[ if only people worked as hard as they hated, maybe they'd get somewhere in life. ]

To a degree, yes. I have obvious motivations here, as Argentina is among the most competitive national teams. That aside, he also grates me on a personal level. His vanity leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

[outplayed]

[ well, kaiser can't deny that's true. but from kaiser's perspective, somebody being a noa liker is like our real world equivalent of a casual fan with one messi jersey. he does not care about the opinion of people who only watch world cup matches... hmph. ]

so my vanity is special to you... an exception, even......

[ he's just kidding. they both know kaiser has very little true vanity to him, as much as he likes to talk as if he's full of it. ]

well, i just think hes overrated
when your thing is being really good at free kicks?? thats not nearly enough to be considered truly outstanding. if anything its kind of embarrassing to be considered a set piece merchant
neither of us play him for a while, though, no? so how do you start the mind games under those conditions

[rationalizer]

[ the vanity of getting your eyeshadow tattoo'd because you're too lazy to apply it every day... ]

I normally enlist other people to assist me.
However, I also want them to think it was their idea to target him.
Bring up his plays conversationally and then see what reaction it gets.
Then point out the small flaws and see if it spirals out.

[outplayed]

should i be flattered or concerned that youre revealing this m.o. to me, who is your collaborator on this?
but it is a sensible approach. ill talk to some people i know in serie a currently

[ and then end his career as the world's best free kick taker by scoring two goals in a UCL match, first one with the magnum, second with a normal kaiser impact. believe! ]

so what do you do if that approach fails

[rationalizer]

It hasn't failed.

[ "yet" -- wrong, it won't fail. ]

[outplayed]

and you think disclosing all of that to me doesnt put that at risk at all?
i cant tell if i should take that as a good or bad thing, honestly

[ he could leak the dms! it would hurt him too, but he always could... ]

[rationalizer]

You can disclose a lot more damaging things than this if you wanted to.

[ like, let's be honest here... ]

[outplayed]

sure, if i was willing to get taken down in the court of public opinion alongside you for all those other things. which im not
this is one of the only things that PROBABLY wouldnt drag me down alongside you

[ and even then, he's not sure about that... ]

[rationalizer]

if you're not certain of it, then isn't the most strategic option to not take action?

[ mr. idk what to do when snuffy is on pitch :/ ]

[outplayed]

counting on my inaction doesnt seem like the soundest strategy, does it?
unless you have... you know...

[ tru... no. he shalln't say it. ]

[rationalizer]

Trust?
Not particularly, no.
But you have incentive to not leak them. I can count on logic in this case.
Unless you're contemplating an illogical action just to spite both our faces at once.

[ which, he would not put past kaiser entirely. ]

[outplayed]

[ oh, thank god it's not that. ]

not at the moment
youd better pray it stays that way

[ for example, like preventing a scenario where kaiser gets subbed on with about 15 minutes left in the 4th clásico in the season while his team is down and he's thinking "what the fuck kind of miracle do you expect from me, coach?" in the back of his mind. ]

you never know when it comes to my delicate temperament, so i suggest you play it safe [ "be so nice to me" ]

[rationalizer]

And what would playing it safe look like?
Will you provide examples or should I make interpretations?

[outplayed]

[ kaiser realizes he shot himself in the foot by saying that because it's... complicated... ]

well, when it comes to you specifically?
you should try to make yourself as predictable to me as possible, thatll do

[rationalizer]

But then where is the element of surprise?
That's a boring way to live.

[outplayed]

you dont surprise me in a way that i like very much, thats the thing
its just, "surprise! i brought you to japan to mentally torture you"
"im going to mentally torture you by pretending like we had dinner plans"
etc.

[rationalizer]

I think you complain too much instead of being more thankful.

[ avg millennial vs zoomer conversation ]

[outplayed]

do you sincerely envision a world where i say to you "oh wow! thanks for all the mental torture. im so truly grateful" at any point in my life? do you want that??

[rationalizer]

I would like to evaluate that the outcomes of these events have been mostly positive for you.
You thinking of it as torture says more about your state of mind than my actions.

[outplayed]

and what does it say about my state of mind. explain

[ this itself is also an act of mental torture. ]

[rationalizer]

You have a weak mentality that can't handle unexpected pressures.
When things don't go your way, you're slow to adapt and instead try to force reality to bend to your whims.
Normally that works for you. When it doesn't, you flounder like a fish out of water.
Should I continue?

[outplayed]

wow

[ also, true! kaiser won't deny it. ]

yes, keep going

[rationalizer]

For someone who complains about how much torture I put you through, you seem ready to take every new beating.
